Most Useful Kitchen Gadget

[Hellyon]

Following on from Wardy's question what are 'surprisingly' useful gadgets.

Mine are, surprisingly, a mozarella slicer which someone gave me - like a big egg slicer - so quick and don't get sqaushed slices, I use it all the time.

Also a cherry/olive stoner as I like putting fresh cherries in salads in the summer

Oh and I use my pizza slicer - the wheel type - for cutting up smoked salmon!

[Psychick]

I know its more of an appliance than a gadget, but I would be lost without my microwave.

[eah]

Mine would be my slow cooker it`s brilliant....

[4GS]

A mould for making the perfect omelette (sp).

[Hellyon]

Oh and my steamer, I do all my veg in it.

[ethandron]

a small whisk (2 in a pack from lakeland) about as big as a dessert spoon, which i use instead of a spoon for stiring things, keeps everything lump free. a large pair of kitchen scissors which i use for cutting up meat, fish, some veg - much better than a knife for some jobs. hand-held electric 'whizzer' for making soup.

[tiggerblue10]

My hand-held cappachino/hot chocolate whisk. It froths and gets rid of bits that don't dissolve properly.

[amonty1144]

A hand processor that I bought 5 years ago when Iwas weaning my son...still going strong and so useful, easy to clean...I'll miss it when it's gone.

[Aprillove]

My hardy wok - it's so versatile. And my canine hoover,who leaves the floor sparklimg after mealtimes. She runs oon Dr Hills diet.

[carrust]

A copper bottomed saute pan with a lid. Cost me about �100-00 but worth every penny.

Without a doubt - our steamer/saucepans, microwave, electric knife, Braun electric hand held blender/whisk & the little battery operated whisk for the grandchildren's milkshakes!

Not forgetting my favourite, very, very old little knife with a burnt handle, for chopping veg, etc.

Sad as it is I love my grater and my wok. I use both most days. Plus the gratar doubles as an excellent threatening tool for my male housemate.

My coffee perculator, i switch it on whilst i get ready in the morn.
A nice strong cup of coffee to set me up for the day :)

I bought a steamer the other day, not used it yet...but i'll be trying it out this evening. Here's hoping it's money well spent.

[Bewlay Bros]

I have to say my George Formby grill is very useful, contrary to what many say are "useless" below.
